Power struggle

Staring absentmindedly at the room ceilings Evelyn's head raged with ominous thoughts squirming at the back of her mind, her head and heart pounding with tension, feeling spider-like fingers racing up and down her rigid spine, as she sat on the horns of her dilemma laced with the thoughts of either supplying the drugs that he had given her or not.

Her journey back to the girl's domitorium had been frightening and torturous with girls glaring and mumbling curses all the way home, her roommate Matilda had completely ignored her existence the entire way home and well she couldn't entirely blame her, to Matilda she had heartlessly snatched her prince charming, thinking about the arrogant brat her brows furrowed deeply despising his very existence, it was because of Leonard she was in this unprecedented stupid situation.

still what intrigued her more was the fact that Leonard knew about her private life, even as much as knowing about her days spent in an asylum, it was still a mystery how he knew, she was not even from this town

however being that Leonard was from a wealthy and notable family she could guess that someone with such power must have a lot of connections to easily dig up dirt on her private life, still, the question was why, why did he bother searching about her past, and after hours of racking her brain for an answer she concluded it was probably because he was looking for fresh students to use as he sees fit to his advantage

Students with secrets to hide and protect are the most easiest target for scums and bullies such as himself, she could only hope tomorrow would be the first and last time she ever delivers drugs, lost in thoughts her mind slowly drifted away as she loosed consciousness falling asleep soon after.

"What game are you playing Leon?." It was past 11 pm, the pale crescent moon shone like a slivery claw in the night sky which was aglow with towers and buildings illuminating the surrounding areas of St Donavan Academy

Sitting on a tree branch not too far away from the boy's domitorium were two boys, one with the darkest of hair and the brightest of blues eyes casually smoking a cigarette alongside a boy with both his hands covered with tattoos, the two boys sat leisurely on a branch overlooking the gloomy scenery cast by the illumination of the moonlight.

"What do you mean?" Leon asked trailing his sight towards Liam.

"Why don't you just come forward with the girl and tell her what she means to you?." he asked in a perplexed tone, Leon with a bored expression etched on his handsome face took a few seconds before replying

"she's human, her fragile mind wouldn't be able to handle it all at once, she'll need time to adjust."

"And by the time you mean making her into your personal drug dealer?," he asked with a loud chuckle "Why can't you be romantic like most men and try wooing her Leon like a gentleman?."

"When have you ever known me to be someone romantic?." he asked with an evil smirk

"Jeez Leon she's your mate," he said with a chuckle shaking his head in disbelief, the man before him has always been strange brutal, and Impossibly complex to understand.

"She's too weak and naive, she wouldn't be able to survive a day in our world Liam, especially mine," he said nonchalantly puffing out smoke making Liam furrow his brows, he couldn't deny the truth in Leon's words.

His world was well too brutal even for him, especially with the current power struggle among his family members, Leon had a step-older brother who was greedy for power and a sister, unknown to the public his father Richard Donavan one of the most powerful men on earth and the alpha to the biggest and most powerful pack was a dying man.

The law of the pack states that if an alpha bears only one son, then he would automatically become the next alpha however if he bears two sons, not withstanding the age difference both sons would fight till either one of the opponent surrenders or dies in the battle to succeed the previous alpha.

Though Leon was the second son of Richard Donavan he had always displayed unmatched and unparalleled strength in comparison to other lycan which his elder brother sees as a threat, unlike all Lycans Leonard possessed magic which created the rumor that his unknown mother might have been a witch, this, of course, created hostility from most lycans towards Leonard, knowing Leonard would definitely succeed in battle if he was to fight his brother as his strength is unmatched, the Lycan's in alliance with his brother had since made several assassination attempts on Leon's life, his father Richard was already too weak and dying to protect him which left the second son of the Donavan family exposed to threats and life-threatening events which he had survived until now.

Another reason Leon had also kept it a secret from the public about Evelyn's identity as his mate was knowing his enemies would without hesitation use her to get to him, so far only his two best friends Liam and Jeremy knew about this, unfortunately, Leon could not retaliate against his brother as he had the full force and support of the lycan race who saw him as their true alpha rather than a half lycan half witch brat, with this thought Liam could understand what Leonard meant, quite frankly he had wished if Leonard was to ever get a mate then it should undoubtedly be Scarlett, the red-haired woman who was also a dark witch was as fierce and powerful as one could imagine, having her as his mate would undoubtedly be a huge help as she was also the daughter to the queen of the dark witches Sabrina.

"Hey look what we have here, the half-breed Leonard has come here to grace us with his much-esteemed presence." came a mocking voice of a figure below them on the ground alongside some delinquent-looking boys, hearing the voice Leonard lazily trailed his sight towards the figure below him, no beneath him, seeing the figure which he had expected seeing, a devilish smirk came to settle on his gorgeous face.

"Aiden, I have been expecting you, what took you so long?." he asked with a devilish grin as he stared down at the figure beneath him.
